Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-17.
search_docsread-only

Search ZeroWidth product documentation. Returns matching pages with title, slug, public URL, and a query-relevant snippet. Use this when the user asks about a ZeroWidth product (Compass, Workbench, Caliper, Prism, Ledger, Napkin, zv1), an API behavior, or a policy. No authentication required — the docs corpus is public.

get_docread-only

Fetch the full Markdown body of a specific docs page by its slug. Use this after `search_docs` when the user needs the complete content of a page. No authentication required.

list_docsread-only

Enumerate all available docs pages, optionally filtered by product (e.g. 'compass', 'legal', 'overview'). Use this to discover what slugs exist before calling `get_doc`. No authentication required.

caliper_datasets_getread-only

One dataset with a page of its items — read this BEFORE editing items (caliper_datasets_update_item needs the item id) and before extending coverage, so you don't add cases that already exist. Items come `limit` at a time (default 25) from `offset`; `total` is the full count. Long fields are cut at ~800 characters with a truncation marker. Get the datasetId from caliper_datasets_list.

caliper_datasets_updatecan modify

Changes a dataset's title, description, or visibility. Pass only what changes; items are untouched (use caliper_datasets_add_items / caliper_datasets_update_item / caliper_datasets_remove_item for those). May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_datasets_deletecan modify

Deletes a dataset. Evals bound to it stop being runnable (their binding shows datasetOk: false), and reviews/specs over its items lose their source — check caliper_evals_list for evals that reference it and say so before proposing. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_datasets_update_itemcan modify

Rewrites one item's content, keeping its id (ratings and eval results keyed to it stay attached). The item's KIND can't change — a Q&A item stays Q&A, a chat item stays chat, a sequence stays a sequence — so pass the same shape you read from caliper_datasets_get. Raw items, and chat items captured with tool calls in them, can't be edited from here. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_datasets_remove_itemcan modify

Drops one item. Ratings and run results keyed to it are orphaned (kept in history, gone from the dataset). A dataset must keep at least one item. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_datasets_generate

Creates a NEW dataset of model-written items — Q&A by default, or scripted sequences / simulated people via `shape` — pass flowId and the generator reads the flow's prompt, mode, and schema to write realistic cases for THAT flow; `description` adds guidance (or stands alone when there's no flow). Use this when the user wants test cases fast and has none; prefer caliper_datasets_create with han

caliper_datasets_generate_items

Appends model-written items to an EXISTING dataset, in the style of what's already there (existing items are the few-shot examples; the output shape matches theirs unless overridden). Use to widen coverage when the user says 'more like these' or 'add edge cases'; write them by hand with caliper_datasets_add_items when the scenarios are known. SPENDS workspace inference credit, so it sits behind th

caliper_rubrics_listread-only

Lists the rubrics in the active workspace (id, name, description, criterion count). Check here BEFORE caliper_rubrics_create — reuse an existing rubric's id in caliper_evals_create when one already scores the same job. Read a rubric's criteria with caliper_rubrics_get.

caliper_rubrics_getread-only

One rubric with its criteria — each criterion's name, what the judge looks for, and the score scale. Read this to explain a score (which criterion slipped and what it asks for) or before caliper_rubrics_update. Get the rubricId from caliper_rubrics_list or an eval's rubricId.

caliper_rubrics_updatecan modify

Changes a rubric's title, description, visibility, or replaces its criteria wholesale (pass the FULL list — criteria get fresh ids). Evals snapshot the rubric when they're created, so an existing eval keeps scoring with the criteria it started with; say so, and offer to create a new eval when the criteria change materially. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_rubrics_deletecan modify

Deletes a rubric. Existing evals keep their snapshot of it and keep running; nothing new can bind to it. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_evals_getread-only

One eval: what it targets (Workbench flow + stage, or external), its dataset and rubric ids, the rubric criteria it scores with (the snapshot taken at creation), schedule + runOnPublish + regression settings, run counts, latest score, and `binding` health (datasetOk / flowOk false = a run would fail at resolution — say so before proposing caliper_evals_run). Get the evalId from caliper_evals_lis

caliper_evals_runs_item_executionread-only

What the flow actually DID on one run item: every step in order (what it said, which tools it called with what arguments, what came back) and the final answer, plus status, duration, and cost. Read this when a low score needs explaining beyond the judge's reasoning — a wrong tool call or an empty tool result is usually the cause, and the fix is different from a prompt fix. Pass the run item's `i

caliper_evals_updatecan modify

Changes an eval's title, description, visibility, schedule (interval + time anchor), runOnPublish (queue a run whenever the flow publishes), regressionThreshold (score drop vs the previous run that triggers an alert; null = off), or scenarioId (the scenario runs use). Pass only what changes. The dataset, rubric snapshot, and target are fixed at creation — create a new eval to change those. Sched

caliper_evals_deletecan modify

Deletes an eval and stops its schedule. Run history is kept but no longer reachable from the eval. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_evals_runs_cancelcan modify

Stops a run that is still PENDING / RUNNING / SCORING — the brake on a run that's spending more than expected or was started by mistake. The queue stops at once; an item already handed to the flow finishes on its own timeout. The run settles as FAILED with a 'cancelled' reason and keeps the items it completed. A run that already finished returns run_not_live. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_sources_listread-only

Apps sending their agent's traces to Caliper — from their own code, OpenTelemetry, or a published Workbench flow — busiest first: name, how it sends, traces in the last 14 days (per day), and the tools its agent calls most with the share of traces using each. Start here when the user asks how their agent behaves on real traffic; then caliper_sources_over_time for one source.

caliper_sources_over_timeread-only

One source day by day: traces, failures, tool calls, lookups that found nothing, tokens, cost, and speed (meanMs; p50/p95 as 'answered within' bucket edges); each tool with its calls and the share of each day's traces that used it; the documents lookups landed on most; models used. Use it to answer 'how often is it calling web search and is that changing' — compare the first and last weeks and n

caliper_traces_listread-only

The traces behind a point on a source's chart, newest first, 50 a page: the question and answer (cut short), tools called, time, tokens, cost, status. Narrow by day, tool, document, or failures; page with `before` (the nextBefore from the last page). Open one with caliper_traces_get.

caliper_traces_getread-only

One trace: what came in, what went out, and every step in order — model calls (model, tokens, cost, reasoning), tool calls (arguments and result), lookups (query and documents with scores), anything else — each with timing and status. Long values are cut at 2,000 characters. Use it to explain why one conversation went the way it did.

caliper_source_feeds_listread-only

Datasets this source keeps adding to as conversations arrive: which dataset, for what (review, eval, spec), the pick it matches, sampling, how many have landed, and whether it's still running or why it stopped.

caliper_sources_to_dataset

Saves the conversations behind a pick (a day, a tool, a document, failures — the same narrowing as caliper_traces_list) into a new dataset (newDatasetName) or an existing one (datasetId), newest first up to `limit`. `purpose` decides what each item keeps: review = the agent's reply, tool calls included, for people to rate; eval = the reply becomes the expected answer; spec = only the questions,

caliper_source_feeds_stopcan modify

Stops a source from adding new conversations to a dataset. What it already added stays. Get the feedId from caliper_source_feeds_list. May return `needs_confirmation`.

caliper_starters_listread-only

The starter sets Caliper ships: prompt injection, system-prompt leaking, over-refusal, personal-data handling, bias under ambiguity. Each is a small original dataset (single messages AND multi-turn build-ups: false memory, fabricated earlier turns, slow escalation) paired with an anchored rubric. Suggest one when a user wants to check an assistant for these and has no cases yet; install with calip

caliper_starters_install

Copies one starter into the workspace as a new dataset and a new rubric the user owns and can edit. Returns both ids; the next step is caliper_evals_create binding them to the flow (or target 'external'). Needs caliper:datasets:write and caliper:evals:write.

caliper_datasets_listread-only

Lists datasets in the active workspace. Returns summaries (id, name, item count); items are not included.

caliper_flow_performanceread-only

How a Workbench flow is ACTUALLY doing, with receipts: every Caliper eval targeting the flow, recent runs with scores, the latest run decomposed into per-criterion averages, the score delta vs the previous run, and the worst-scoring items WITH the judge's reasoning. Use this BEFORE claiming a flow works or proposing changes — and cite the runId + scores when you do. The worst items are diagnosti

caliper_evals_runs_listread-only

Recent runs for one eval, newest first: status (PENDING/RUNNING/SCORING/DONE/FAILED), overall score once DONE, label, and timestamps. THE CHECK-BACK for caliper_evals_run: when the user asks how the run went, read this — cite the run id and score, and compare against the PREVIOUS run's score for the delta. Still don't poll in a loop; check when the user asks or when reporting.

caliper_evals_runs_getread-only

One run: status, overall score, and by default the ten lowest-scoring items with their per-criterion scores and the judge's reasoning (`items: all` for every item, `none` for totals only). THE ANSWER to 'why did the score drop' — read this, then name the criterion that slipped and quote the reasoning on the lowest items. Works for runs Caliper ran and for runs submitted from CI (triggeredBy 'ci'

caliper_evals_listread-only

Lists evals in the active workspace with their target config (which Workbench flow, which dataset/rubric). Use to find the evalId for caliper_evals_run.

caliper_evals_run

Queues a new run of an eval — inference over the dataset, then LLM-judge scoring. THE VERIFY STEP of the improvement loop: after an approved workbench_flows_edit_text, run the eval again and report the score delta vs the previous run. Runs take a while — but you're brought back into THIS conversation automatically with the scores the moment it finishes, so tell the user it's queued and that yo

caliper_datasets_create

Creates a dataset of test items — THE FIRST STEP of setting up evaluation for a flow. Four item shapes: Q&A (input + optional expectedOutput, the golden answer); CHAT (messages: the conversation so far as role/content user and assistant messages you write, ending on a user message, + expectedResponse for the next reply; the flow writes only that reply, so every earlier assistant turn stays fixed

caliper_datasets_add_items

Appends items to an existing dataset — use this to grow coverage (new edge cases, scenarios from a completed interview) instead of creating a parallel dataset. Same four shapes as caliper_datasets_create (Q&A, chat, sequence, simulated). Existing items and their ratings are untouched.

caliper_rubrics_create

Creates the scoring rubric an eval's LLM judge uses — 1-10 criteria, each scored on a numeric scale (default 1-5), judged pass/fail (kind pass_fail), or checked in code with no judge (kind check: contains, not_contains, matches a regex, valid_json, max_chars, equals_expected). Write criteria about the FLOW'S JOB (accuracy to source material, tone, refusal behavior), not generic 'quality'.

caliper_evals_create

Binds a dataset + rubric to something under test as a repeatable eval — THE LAST SETUP STEP before scoring. Two targets: a Workbench flow (pass flowId; Caliper runs inference itself, then caliper_evals_run scores it), or 'external' (target: 'external'; the user's own model runs elsewhere and their script submits outputs through the public API, usually from CI — see the docs guide 'Run evals in

comments_listread-only

Lists the comment threads on one workspace entity (open first, then resolved) with authors and timestamps. Read this before weighing in on contested work — the threads are where disagreement lives before it becomes a decision.

comments_create

Posts a comment on a workspace entity — a new thread, or a reply when rootId is given. Use it to leave findings where the discussion already lives (an eval result on the flow being debated, a summary on a long thread). Mention people via mentionedUserIds (from workspace member ids) to ring their notification bell; never mention someone who didn't ask to be pulled in.

comments_resolvecan modify

Sets a comment thread's resolved state (rootId = the thread's root comment id). Resolve ONLY when the human asked or the thread's question is demonstrably settled — and say what settled it in a reply first. Reopening is for new evidence.

search_workspaceread-only

Finds anything in the workspace in one call — uploaded files (searching the text inside them), folders, Workbench flows, shims, knowledge bases and tasks, Compass pages and changes, Caliper datasets, evals, rubrics, reviews, specs and sources, Ledger entries, Napkin sketches, decks, docs, sheets, diagrams and interfaces. The same search the person uses in Home. Use it FIRST whenever the user men

entity_tags_getread-only

Returns the tags on a batch of entities of one kind — the labels galleries organize by. Ids come from the kind's list/get tool or from search_workspace. Use it before entity_tags_set so you replace the full set knowingly, and to answer 'what is this filed under'. Entities the user can't see are omitted.

entity_tags_browseread-only

Without a tag: every tag in use across the workspace with how many entities carry it, most-used first — the vocabulary the team already organizes by. With a tag: everything filed under it across every tool, each with its kind, id, title, and path. Use it to reuse existing labels instead of inventing near-duplicates, and to answer 'show me everything about X' when X is a label.

entity_tags_setcan modify

Replaces the FULL tag set on one entity (an empty list clears it). Read the current tags with entity_tags_get first and pass the merged list — this is not additive. Tags are lowercase letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens; prefer labels already in use (entity_tags_browse) so the workspace's vocabulary stays small. The id comes from the kind's list/get tool or search_workspace.
